Johann Georg Müller (1913–1986) – on the centenary of his birth

Painter and graphic artist Johann Georg Müller was born on 17 November 1913 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany. To mark the centenary of his birth, a retrospective of his work entitled “Devotion to the beauty of this world” is taking place in Koblenz, Duisburg and Ludwigshafen. His extraordinary and multi-faceted oeuvre is presented in important paintings, graphic works and photographs. The exhibitions and the accompanying catalogue show that, throughout his life, Müller did not follow any systematic artistic rules and therefore retained the freedom to switch between traditional depictions of motifs and abstracted and abstract formal experiments.
